NIOS II Flash Programmer - System ID not found

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to program the FPGA using the NIOS II Flash Programmer. Im getting errors whenever I try to open the settings.bsp or .sopcinfo files...it says:

-Connected system ID hash not found on target at expected base address.

-Connected system timestamp not found on target at expected base address.

Does anyone know what might cause it?

Tahnk You very much

    Hi, maybe you get the wrong .pof on FPGA or a memory problem (stuck pins...)

    Hi,

    you did not use the System ID peripheral component in your system. This will result in an error in the flash programmer when the system id check is activated. In your case it looks like the system id check is disabled. This results in a warning. You should be able to program the flash.

    Regards,

    To solve this problem,

    one solution is to regenerate bsp form within bsp editor, not by context menu > generate BSP

    Maybe you've solved the problem, but i still share my experience with you all. Yesterday i encountered the problem and confused me a lot.At last , i found it wad s caused by the "nios_inst.v" doc. In the top level verilog doc(my doc is named as led.v), the nios_inst reset must be connected to the real pin, if not, the nios system could not run and the the NIOS II SBT will not find the system ID. My English may be poor and i hope my experience will help u a lot~~
